Sleep is super important to improving our gut health😴💤 When we don't get enough sleep, it can disrupt the balance of our gut microbiome and lead to a variety of gut-related problems. Here's why:

1. Gut microbiome disruption - Lack of sleep has been shown to disrupt the balance of our gut microbiome, which can lead to inflammation and a weakened immune system.

2. Digestive issues - Poor sleep has been linked to digestive issues such as acid reflux, constipation, and diarrhea.

3. Hormonal imbalance - Sleep plays a key role in regulating hormones like cortisol and melatonin, which can affect gut health.

So if you want to keep your gut healthy, make sure to prioritize sleep! Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night, and try to establish a regular sleep schedule. Your gut will thank you 💚

The gut is often referred to as our 'second brain' as it contains a complex network of neurons, neurotransmitters and other signaling molecules that can operate independently from the brain in the head, yet communicate with it constantly. This network is called the enteric nervous system (ENS) and is often described as a 'brain in the gut'.

The ENS is responsible for controlling the digestive system, including movement of food through the gut and the secretion of digestive enzymes and hormones. It also communicates with the brain through the vagus nerve, which runs from the brainstem to the abdomen, sending signals back and forth between the two organs.

Recent research has suggested that the ENS and the gut microbiome, the collection of bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the gut, play a critical role in regulating mood, behavior, and even cognitive function. This connection is known as the gut-brain axis and the two organs are intimately linked in ways that scientists are only beginning to understand.

It's important to remember that the way to is not only through food and movement, but by ensuring that the gut brain connection is healthy and free from stress and anxiety. 💚 🍏
